Dear Mr. Loerke, yesterday you changed the bulb in the front porch light, took out the trash, and washed the dishes after dinner. You shexy thing, you. Dear Plastic & Duct Tape, I think you are fantastic when you create things like this. Dear Missing Smartwool Sock, you're worse than missing car keys. The end. Dear Timothy James, pretty sure we go together like winter and flannel sheets. Over and out.

Happy Tuesday, friends! Do you lose things often? I usually have a place for everything. Looks like I need to work on this when it comes to my socks !

Dear Husband, 847 miles and 4 trout later you finally made it to Louisville. Welcome home! Dear Molls Magee Roberson, today is your 25th birthday. Last year we climbed windmills, camped in the Blue Ridge Mountains, fly fished on the Davidson, hiked Half Dome, stole grapes from V. Sattui's vineyard in Napa, kept Austin weird, and learned how to sling clay on the pottery wheel. I couldn't ask for a better best. Can't wait to see all of the adventures this year holds! Thanks for being born. Dear Basa, four points for making me want to do the truffle shuffle after eating your macadamia nut cake with caramel espresso gelato. You were worth the two hour wait. Dear Timothy James, last week we bought a house. WE BOUGHT A FREAKING HOUSE! Here's to 107 year old bungalows with creaky hardwoods for shimmying, front porches for swinging, pocket doors for sliding, cellars for canning, third story studios for writing, and claw foot tubs for bathing. We. are. blessed.

Happy Monday, brave ones! Hope your weekend was full of learning new things and spending time with people you know and love. What are you looking forward to today?

PS,
Each week we receive several FPF photos that can't be posted on the
blog due to photo quality. We'd love to encourage you to 1) take your
FPF photo horizontally (when possible) 2) use an SLR camera (no blurry
cell phone pictures) and 3) take your photos in the daylight. Thanks!

Dear Husband, yesterday we made an offer on a house. One word: HOLLYSH%TBALLS. Ps- love you more than a 105 year old creaky hardwoods. Dear Monday Nights, making hand thrown mugs, check. Bean Boots for easy cleaning, check. Dixie cup full of cab, check. You are quickly becoming the highlight of my week. Dear River, you now have 7 stitches and get to wear a lampshade on your head. Pretty sure you're the cutest pup I've ever seen. Dear Timothy James, FREEEEEEEDOM! So proud of you for finishing up your last ER shift in Dallas. Praying for tight lines as you fish your way to Kentucky!

Happy Tuesday, brave ones! Have you ever had stitches before? I'm convinced it's a right of passage. Kind of like your first armpit hair or first speeding ticket.

We also celebrate by watching a documentary about MLK's
efforts to transform the civil rights movement in America. Btw, Netflix has a wide
selection of documentaries under "watch it instantly."Here is one of our favorites.

Dear Husband, this week's highlights included: purchasing an ice scraper, feeding the chickens, and receiving my first parking ticket. I'd say I'm adapting quite well to our new city.Dear Fresh Start Feed Store, your wood burning stove is AMAZEBALLS. {Insert best place to buy grit and take a nap here}. Dear Sleep, you are as delicious as French Toast made on Pugliase bread from Blue Dog Bakery. Thankful for last night's uninterrupted 6 hours.Dear Tim Tebow Loerke, only five more days until I tackle you in the front yard. Wear pads.

Dear Mr. Loerke, at 6:07 each morning the neighbor's rooster let's me know a new day is dawning. Best. alarm. clock. ever. Dear Oscar's Hardware, thanks for the reminder that in the midst of winter lies within us all an invincible summer. #radioflyer Dear Pottery Class, tonight begins an 8 week adventure of channeling my inner Demi Moore. Here's to hoping Oda Mae can save me of any clay slinging disasters. Dear Timothy James, less than a baker's dozen days until you're in Lou. Get here already.

Happy Monday, sweet friends! How was your weekend? Hope it was filled with trying new things and spending time with people who make you feel known and loved.

PS,
Each week we receive several FPF photos that can't be posted on the

After 16 hours in a UHaul we finally made it to Louisville!River Slept on my lap most of the way while my Papa and I talked, laughed, and reminisced
about our favorite childhood memories. The last few days have been spent finding A) the Pharmacy
B) taking River and Ryder on walks down Frankfort and C) eating amazing food with friendshere, here, and here. What have you been up to this week? I'd love to hear!
Also, I have two GA tickets to the SOLD OUT Mumford & Sons / Ben Howard concert on 2/6/13 in Brooklyn. Email me at em@todaysletters.com if you're interested in them!
Happy Tuesday, ya'll!

Tim and I have been married for 9 years. We like to dance in our jammers, sleep late in the biscuit, build forts, write each other letters, fly fish, and travel. We also have a little babe named Brave who smells mostly like breast milk and fabric softener. (more)
